If anybody has just gotten in this issue today look on page 10. Is CP #9714 part of the holiday train because you can see alot of dots or lights on the front of the engine and around the top or above the window’s. So is it the CP Holiday Train Engine or from a past Christmas Train?
Here is a photo of this yrs train. Looks like different power than the unit you reference above.
CP runs two holiday trains each year (one in Canada, one Stateside). So it could be. I know the adaptations are permanent (or reasonably so), so I doubt that there are many, if any, more than that.
Good eyes, and yes, unit 9714 was indeed the holiday train power back in 2006…see the photo below for verification:
